Hey Guys, I’m sorry I can’t help you right now.
I currently have my examination period at my university. So I’m super busy right now… I’ll be able to help in a week or so…

@ildottore I configured the syncer config to only synchronize calendar events with the property item_types = ["VEVENT"]. The CalDav function only supports the items like "VEVENT" and "VTODO".

I think, that iOS/macOS does not store the birthdays directly in the calendars but adds the birthdays via the Contacts.app to the Calendar.app.

Maybe you can achieve showing birthdays by syncing the contacts with vdirsyncer as described in the docs here and somehow extract the birthdays. But I think this would be quite costly…

Or you can use the MagicMirror module MMM-iCloud-Client maybe…

Yeah, this sounds nice! I’m currently working on a module that shows a QR-Code next to the newsfeed to get to the corresponding news article fast and convenient.

When I’m done with that I could write such a module.

@bgz Please read answers carefully. If it doesn’t exist, just create it. I described the creation in my last answer.

Hey, @bgz! No problem, I’m glad to help if I have time for that :)

first: the path should be /home/pi/.vdirsyncer/config you forgot the slash after “pi”

additionally, it seems, that the folder does not exist. Please make sure, that the folder .vdirsyncer exists in your user’s home directory. You can create it by typing mkdir .vdirsyncer when you are inside the home directory

@ribermon No I have no idea. But since this is actually a vdirsyncer-problem and has nothing to do with the mirror itself, I suggest you dig the vdirsyncer-Documentation:

https://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/en/stable/

Hey @ribermon!

Yes, this should be possible. You just have to add another configuration scheme for your second icloud account to the vdirsyncer config. I didn’t try it, but something like that should work:

# vdirsyncer configuration for MagicMirror.
#
# Move it to ~/.vdirsyncer/config or ~/.config/vdirsyncer/config and edit it.
# Run `vdirsyncer --help` for CLI usage.
#
# Optional parameters are commented out.
# This file doesn't document all available parameters, see
# http://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/ for the rest of them.

[general]
# A folder where vdirsyncer can store some metadata about each pair.
status_path = "~/.vdirsyncer/status/"

# CALDAV Sync for iCloud 1
[pair iCloud1_to_MagicMirror]
a = "Mirror_iCloud1"
b = "iCloud1"
collections = ["HERE-GOES-THE-UUID-OF-THE-CALENDAR-YOU-WANT-TO-SYNC"]

# Calendars also have a color property
metadata = ["displayname", "color"]

[storage Mirror_iCloud1]
# We need a single .ics file for use with the mirror (Attention! This is really slow on big amounts of events.)
type = "singlefile"
# We'll put the calendar file to a readable location for the calendar module
path = "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/calendars/%s.ics"

[storage iCloud1]
type = "caldav"
url = "https://caldav.icloud.com/"
# Authentication credentials
username = "YOUR-ICLOUD-EMAIL-ADDRESS"
password = "HERE-GOES-YOUR-APP-SPECIFIC-ICLOUD-PASSWORD"
# We only want to sync in the direction TO the mirror, so we make iCloud readonly
read_only = true
# We only want to sync events
item_types = ["VEVENT"]
# We need to keep the number of events low, so we'll just sync the next month
# Adjust this to your needs
start_date = "datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)"
end_date = "datetime.now() + timedelta(days=30)"


# CALDAV Sync for iCloud 2
[pair iCloud2_to_MagicMirror]
a = "Mirror_iCloud2"
b = "iCloud2"
collections = ["HERE-GOES-THE-UUID-OF-THE-CALENDAR-YOU-WANT-TO-SYNC"]

# Calendars also have a color property
metadata = ["displayname", "color"]

[storage Mirror_iCloud2]
# We need a single .ics file for use with the mirror (Attention! This is really slow on big amounts of events.)
type = "singlefile"
# We'll put the calendar file to a readable location for the calendar module
path = "/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/calendars/%s.ics"

[storage iCloud2]
type = "caldav"
url = "https://caldav.icloud.com/"
# Authentication credentials
username = "YOUR-ICLOUD2-EMAIL-ADDRESS"
password = "HERE-GOES-YOUR-APP-SPECIFIC-ICLOUD2-PASSWORD"
# We only want to sync in the direction TO the mirror, so we make iCloud readonly
read_only = true
# We only want to sync events
item_types = ["VEVENT"]
# We need to keep the number of events low, so we'll just sync the next month
# Adjust this to your needs
start_date = "datetime.now() - timedelta(days=1)"
end_date = "datetime.now() + timedelta(days=30)"

@l0cal Yes this should work.

Just add "VTODO" to the item_types array in your vdirsyncer config as described in the vdirsyncer docs here: https://vdirsyncer.pimutils.org/en/stable/config.html?highlight=VEVENT#storage-caldav.

@Doubleve Hmmm…

Maybe you have to allow your localhost address to the MagicMirror ipWhiteList option in your config. Just add ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1"], to your config right before the modules option. Maybe the calendar module can not access the .ics file if this is not allowed…

@Doubleve Did you change the first line of the file to #!/usr/bin/python3 ?
